    When you apply back spin to a ball does it affect the distance of the club or not. I f so how much do you think.

     

    Thanks Gary

    Yes. It varies according to the greens the slope and the club.

    No, let me rephrase, if a club as a distance of 75 yards and you put max.back spin on the ball does that affect the 75 yard distance?

    Especially with wind in your face. The shot will get knocked down in a hurry. I don't know how much it affects the lower level CGs but the higher level ones get knocked down 10 yards with full spin and no wind. It's a good way to learn how to control your distances so you can take fuller swings.
